1: 18.40 Methods of Computation
§18.40(ii) The Classical Moment Problem
The problem of moments is simply stated and the early work of Stieltjes, Markov, and Chebyshev on this problem was the origin of the understanding of the importance of both continued fractions and OP’s in many areas of analysis. Given the power moments, μ n = a b x n d μ ( x ) , n = 0 , 1 , 2 , , can these be used to find a unique μ ( x ) , a non-decreasing, real, function of x , in the case that the moment problem is determined? Should a unique solution not exist the moment problem is then indeterminant. … A simple set of choices is spelled out in Gordon (1968) which gives a numerically stable algorithm for direct computation of the recursion coefficients in terms of the moments, followed by construction of the J-matrix and quadrature weights and abscissas, and we will follow this approach: Let N be a positive integer and define … Having now directly connected computation of the quadrature abscissas and weights to the moments, what follows uses these for a Stieltjes–Perron inversion to regain w ( x ) . …
